Financial & billing information

Financial & billing information

Cook Children's Pediatric Surgery Center fees cover the use of the facility only and do not include laboratory, pathology, surgeon or anesthesiologist fees. You will be billed separately for those services.

The Business Office will call you several days prior to surgery to discuss billing procedures. We will call your insurance to verify coverage which will include any co payments, co-insurance and deductibles. Our calculation of your portion of the procedure’s cost will be based on this information. This will be an estimate and it is your responsibility to pay this cost on the date of service. As a courtesy, we will bill your primary and secondary insurance carriers directly for the surgery center’s charges. Be sure to bring your most current insurance cards with you on the day of surgery.

Patients who do not have insurance are required to pay their charges in advance. We accept cash, cashier’s checks, credit cards and personal checks with a valid photo ID.

We realize that at times you may require special financial arrangements. In these instances, please call us prior to the surgery to discuss alternative methods of payment. We accept Care Credit at the facility to help to find a comfortable way for you to fit treatment payments into your budget. Please visit the Care Credit Web site for more information or call our Business Office at 972-300-0215 for instructions.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the facility charges, our financial policies or billing procedures, please feel free to contact us at 972-300-0215.
